The investigation reported herein was conducted to develop the most efficient design of inlet and interior channels to provide the desired volume of tidal flow into and out of Lynnhaven Bay, to determine the effectiveness of jetties in preventing shoaling of the inlet channel, and to observe the effects of jetties on the beaches adjacent to the inlet. Two models were used in the study: (a) a fixed-bed model, reproducing all Lynnhaven Bay and Inlet and a portion of Chesapeake Bay to scales of 1:800 horizontally and 1:80 vertically; (b) a movable-bed model, reproducing Lynnhaven Inlet and adjacent beaches, and offshore areas to about the -25-ft contour of depth in Chesapeake Bay, to scales of 1:400 horizontally and 1:80 vertically.
